She amazes me with something new everyday. Most know her as a quiet, reserved, thoughtful, even timid little one. And while this is true, there is a spunk and sassiness that can test even the most patient of tempers.
Stubborn. Just like her father (ADMITTEDLY, People!). While I am known for being a bit reserved and modest, I have a stubbornness as well. So she was doomed from the start.
I love watching her in new places because really, that shyness about her is almost her is calculated. She is observing and analyzing people and situations; you can watch her wheels crank. She stays back and gets a feel for her environment and the people in it. Because it typically won't take long for her to jump out of her shell, even though it still seems as if she stays in her own world. It's been incredible to watch her at Kindermusik last the last couple of weeks. New class, new city, new faces, new places. Down south we would typically see at least one familiar face when we went to a baby time class, but we're thrown into a whole new ball game here. So far, she's just going with it, and adjusting far better than mommy is!
She loves being outside, but honestly I think her favorite thing to do in the whole world is read books. We could go through every shelf of books we have and then start all over again, and that's just before lunch. And her language development is far beyond what I could ever imagine at this age. She can repeat pretty much anything, including phrases. The newest one being "I got this!" Perhaps one of the cutest things ever.
Her intelligence and humor surprises me everyday. She outsmarts us regularly, and I know it's only going to continue getting worse! Time will only continue to fly by, all the while I'm just trying to keep up with this little ball of energy.
